QUICK START GUIDE

1.

 

VERIFY PROPER OPERATION OF CAMERA CONTROL USING A DIRECT WIRED
CONNECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLING WIRELESS LINK.

2.

 

SET THE PTZ-900TX AND PTZ-900RX SERIAL PORT DATA RATE AND MODE (RS422 or
RS232) USING THE TRANGOLINK PROGRAM AND SUPPLIED CABLE.  (THIS STEP
 NOT
REQUIRED IF THE PTZ CONTROL EQUIPMENT IS SET TO USE 9600 BPS and RS422 or
RS485 MODE
)

3.

 

INSTALL TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER UNITS  IN DESIRED LOCATION TO 2 3/8”
MAX DIAMETER STEEL POLE PER INSTALLATION DRAWING.

4.

 

INSTALL ANTENNAS ABOVE THE ENCLOSURES AND ALIGN PROPERLY.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  THE PTZ-900TX (TRANSMITTER) USES A SPECIAL ANTENNA
CONNECTOR.  ONLY USE ANTENNAS SUPPLIED BY TRANGO SYSTEMS WITH THIS TYPE
OF CONNECTOR OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT MAY OCCUR.

5.

 

TIGHTEN ANTENNA CABLE TO RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER.  APPLY A SMALL
AMOUNT OF SILICONE TO FLANGE TO MAKE A LEAKPROOF CONNECTION.

6.

 

CONNECT INTERFACE AND POWER CABLES TO UNITS THROUGH FLANGES.
TIGHTEN FLANGES TO ALLOW SMALL AIR GAP AT BOTTOM OF ENCLOSURE.
MAKE SURE THAT GROUNDING STRAP IS SECURE TO AN EARTH GROUND.

7.

 

VERIFY THAT LEDs ARE SOLID RED ON TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER BEFORE
SENDING PTZ COMMANDS.

8.

 

TIGHTEN LID OF ENCLOSURE DOWN.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER UNLESS THE
ANTENNA IS CONNECTED. PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

SAFETY NOTE:  THE PTZ-900TX TRANSMITTER OUTPUT POWER VARYS BETWEEN ½
and 4 WATTS EIRP.  ALTHOUGH TRANSMISSIONS ARE OF A SHORT DURATION, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRANSMIT ANTENNA BE KEPT AT LEAST 3 FEET AWAY
FROM NEARBY PERSONS.
